A new feature is preparing to launch that will make the PADI Pros’ Site more user-friendly and accessible when accessing the site from a mobile device – the PADI Pros’ Site Lite!

The PADI Pros’ Site lite is a mobile-responsive microsite offering on-the-go access to some of your favorite areas of the PADI Pros’ Site including the Online Processing Center, Dive Chek® and My Account information. With the new PADI Pros’ Site Lite, you can easily verify a student’s certification, update your contact information, and even process a student certification while still at the dive site – all from the convenience of your smartphone. And, access to the fully-featured PADI Pros’ Site is always just a click away.

What’s even easier is how you’ll access the Pros’ Site Lite. When accessing the Pros’ Site from a mobile device, an auto-detect feature will identify your device and deliver the Pros’ Site Lite. Want to make it even easier to access the site? Simply download the PADI App and tap on the Pros’ Site button to quickly access the Pros’ Site Lite features.

The PADI Pros’ Site Lite is launching soon. Can’t wait to see what the mobile-responsive site will look like? Here’s a sneak peak:

You may be familiar with the scenario where a diver comes to your Dive Center or Resort and asks to book onto their next PADI course, or simply enjoy the local diving on their holiday. But there’s a problem: they’ve lost or forgotten to bring their PADI certification card to prove their current rating.

The good news is that there’s a simple alternative. DiveChek™ Online is a useful, time-saving tool which enables you to search for your customer’s certification history and the dates they completed the training (and even which PADI Pro and Dive Center they trained with).

By locating and verifying the diver’s details directly via the PADI Pros’ Site, you’ll be able to get instant confirmation – 24/7 – of their PADI certification status. They won’t need to wait for a replacement card to arrive and you won’t need to spend time calling your local PADI office for verification – keeping your customers happy, and your business efficient.

Accessing the DiveChek™ Online tool is easy – just visit the PADI Pros’ Site and click on Online Services > DiveChek. Enter your customer’s full name and date of birth and click “Run Report” to view the results.

Note: DiveChek™ Online will not check Professional level certifications. To verify the status of a PADI Professional, you can use the ProChek tool instead.
